History [edit]
Assumption University became an autonomous educational institution in 1969 when Assumption Commercial College (ACC) originated Assumption School of Business. In 1972 it became Assumption Business Administration College (ABAC). In 1990 the college was granted a university status by the Ministry of University Affairs and took the name of Assumption University (AU). Recently, AU has been expanding the Suvarnabhumi campus with Gothic-style buildings and creating a nature-centered atmosphere it calls the "University in the Park".
